The call

YPT and Notes+ both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Notes+'s written reviews are positive against 56% of YPT's. YPT's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
